“House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky) is raising serious concerns about financial disclosures filed by Rep Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) indicating that her husband holds ownership stakes in two companies – eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital LLC – whose reported value unexplainably surged from $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024.”

“In a letter to Rose Lake Capital LLC President and Rep Omar’s husband Timothy Mynett, Chairman Comer noted the companies’ lack of publicly available investor information and requested all documents and communications related to the finances of eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital,” says a Friday press release from the painfully fucking stupid House Oversight Committee chair.

Remember how every House Dem and a lot of media observers were saying Comer’s subpoena to the Clintons was extremely short-sighted and stupid because it created a precedent – one that Comer himself even admitted to – that Dems will use to squeeze Trump? Well amazingly this actually manages to top that ill-advised move because the kind of probe he wants to launch into Omar is supposed to go through the Ethics Committee who apparently, as of this writing, have not found anything approaching probable cause to investigate Omar/Mynett, nor are they in Oversight’s remit.

This has never been done before and thus here’s Comer apparently acting on orders from convicted felon President Trump who just keeps screaming about Omar evidently because his own Justice Department can’t make anything happen. Now Comer’s just handing Dems the permission structure to immediately subpoena his brother for records about their dairy farms and real estate scams, not to mention Jim Jordan’s wrestling team, Cory Mills’s imam… Shit, we could be here all day listing off all the different “avenues of inquiry” that Robert Garcia, Jamie Raskin, and the rest of the now-ranking members can use to torment their Republican colleagues if/when they get the gavels back.
